The Spurs' four-game Summer League slate kicks off in Las Vegas on July 9. At 3:30 p.m. Central the team will meet the Atlanta Hawks, and the game will be televised on ESPN2. Both contests are scheduled at the Thomas & Mack Center, with the league’s 30 clubs competing in a 76-game showcase that runs through July 19.
Atlanta arrives in Las Vegas with No. 8 overall pick Kingston Flemings, a product of Brennan High School and the University of Houston. Flemings, who was selected by the Hawks on Tuesday night, will face his home-state crowd in what could be his first professional appearance. The matchup offers a local storyline for fans in Texas, pitting the San Antonio franchise against a fellow Texan draft selection.
After a day off, the Spurs will travel to a back-to-back stretch, taking on New York at 5 p.m. on July 11 and Milwaukee at 8 p.m. on July 12. The league’s schedule then moves the Spurs to the Pavilion venue for a July 15 showdown with the Utah Jazz and No. 2 overall pick Darryn Peterson, broadcast on Prime Video at 8:30 p.m. Central. A fifth game remains to be announced, and the regular schedule concludes on July 16.
San Antonio’s Summer League roster features first-rounder Tarris Reed Jr., the 26th-overall pick, alongside second-round selections Ja'Kobi Gillespie (42) and Maliq Brown (44). The team’s top draft choice, No. 20 forward Jayden Quaintance, is listed as a question mark. Quaintance is recovering from a right-knee ACL repair performed on March 19, 2025 at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, a procedure that follows a prior surgery during his freshman year at Arizona State. He faces an additional knee operation before he can practice with the squad.
The Summer League provides the Spurs a low-stakes environment to gauge how their new pieces fit alongside a roster that reached the NBA Finals last season. Reed Jr., a big man noted for his rebounding and screen-setting ability, offers an immediate physical presence, while Gillespie and Brown add depth in the guard and wing positions. The uncertainty surrounding Quaintance means the organization must assess front-court depth without his contributions, potentially accelerating the development of the other rookies.
As defending Western Conference champions, the Spurs will be watching the Las Vegas games closely. Strong performances from Reed Jr., Gillespie and Brown could earn them minutes in the regular season, while Flemings’ display against his home-state rivals will give Atlanta a first glimpse of their high-draft pick. The outcomes in Vegas will shape roster decisions heading into training camp and set the tone for a franchise looking to build on recent success.
